(Special to The Evening News.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. The
stato department is puzzled with the
problem of what to do with Mnmlmo
Castillo, a Mexleun bandit, who Is
responsible for the Cumbre Tunnol
horror, who was captured with six of
his followers by United Stales caval
ry near llnclilta, New Mexico. Tu
i punish the outlaw for an of
fenso committed In Mexico Is qulto
out of tho question, so authorities
allege. It Is also pointed out that
ho cannot bo surrendered to the fed
eral Mexican government without re
versing tho president's non-recognl-tion
policy. Then, again, liecaiiso
tho rebels or constitutionalists have
no official standing it Is said that
tho prisoner cannot be turned over
to Villa, who would certainly make
short work of him. It Is apparently
up to somebody to devise a way to
got rid of th0 undesirable prisoner.
Maximo Castillo, the bandit Is
charged with responsibility fur tho
Cumbre tunnel disaster, In which ton
Americans and 41 others lost their
lives.
According to Captain White's brief
dispatch they surrendered without a
fight. They will be brought here.
Arrest Ordered b,. Wireless.
Castillo, to avoid a range of moun
tains on the Mexican side, made a de
tour which brought him Into Amor
lean territory. Captain White was
on the watch, having received Infor
mation yesterday from Waltor Mo
Cormlck, American manager of Las
Palomas ranch, on the Mexican sldo,
that the much-wanted man was In
the vicinity, Captain Whllo tele
graphed by Army wireless to Gen
eral Scott for Instructions and was
ordered to arrest the bandit should
he put foot on American soil,
Castillo set fire to a freight train
In the Cumbre tunnel two weeks
ago. Tho cars were burning when a
passenger train crashed Into It and
every llte aboard was lost. 'JTho
tunnel Is still burning.
